In a world obsessed by the latest gadgets and fast fashion, what if I told you that the most sustainable way to live might actually be to buy things that last for decades? It sounds counterintuitive in our throwaway culture, but hear me out. This isn’t just about saving money or being a savvy consumer […]

Forests Fight with Water Shortages

Adrian — Sun, 22 Sep 2024 10:32:09 +0000

Forests have been the place where we believe our ancestors lived since time immemorial. I have a technical background and I plead for simple and effective measures to improve the quality of the environment by few simple measures. It is clear that the industry can no longer remain in the middle ages with the steam […]

Climate Change and U.S. Agriculture Challenge

Adrian — Sat, 24 Aug 2024 16:53:41 +0000

As we navigate the complexities of the 21st century, one challenge looms larger than most: climate change. Its effects are far-reaching, touching every corner of our lives and economy. But perhaps nowhere are these impacts more keenly felt than in our agricultural sector. As a nation that prides itself on its farming heritage and food […]

Coronavirus and the effects on climate change

Adrian — Thu, 16 Apr 2020 23:21:19 +0000

The spread of Coronavirus has stopped many field research projects, even those that referred to the effects of climate change, while to other researchers gave them the opportunity to find new research topics that could find parallels with the current climate crises and the lessons to be learned. Coronavirus pandemic and the new carbon economyBecause […]

Global warming turns tundra to forest

Gabriel — Tue, 05 Jun 2012 19:40:57 +0000

In just a few decades shrubs in the Arctic tundra have turned into trees as a result of the warming Arctic climate, creating patches of forest which, if replicated across the tundra, would significantly accelerate global warming. Scientists from Finland and Oxford University investigated an area of around 100,000 km2, known as the northwestern Eurasian […]

Seagrasses can store as much carbon as forests

Gabriel — Tue, 22 May 2012 19:41:07 +0000

Seagrasses are a vital part of the solution to climate change and, per unit area, seagrass meadows can store up to twice as much carbon as the world’s temperate and tropical forests. So report researchers publishing a paper this week in the journal Nature Geoscience. The paper, “Seagrass Ecosystems as a Globally Significant Carbon Stock,” […]

Atmospheric warming altering ocean salinity and the water cycle

Gabriel — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 18:37:51 +0000

A clear change in salinity has been detected in the world’s oceans, signaling shifts and acceleration in the global rainfall and evaporation cycle tied directly to climate change. Lead author Paul Durack said that by looking at observed ocean salinity changes and the relationship between salinity, rainfall and evaporation in climate models, they determined the […]

Oceans acidifying faster today than in past 300 million years

Gabriel — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 19:22:36 +0000

Anthropogenic CO2 emissions, in addition to causing global warming, alter the chemistry of seas and oceans, causing them to turn progressively acidic. This change has severe effects on marine organisms and ecosystems. An international research published in the latest edition of the journal Science concludes that in the past 300 million years the chemistry of […]

The effects of climate change in the Arctic

Gabriel — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 16:26:05 +0000

Two decades after the United Nations established the Framework Convention on Climate Change in order to “prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system”, the Arctic shows the first signs of a dangerous climate change. A team of researchers led by CSIC assures so in an article published on the latest number of the Nature […]

The biodiversity crisis: Worse than climate change

Gabriel — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 20:27:21 +0000

Biodiversity is declining rapidly throughout the world. The challenges of conserving the world’s species are perhaps even larger than mitigating the negative effects of global climate change. Dealing with the biodiversity crisis requires political will and needs to be based on a solid scientific knowledge if we are to ensure a safe future for the […]
